The Prymal Podcast

Ben Craughwell is a coach and physique expert who specialises in helping men lose body fat, build muscle and get strong.

Ben's personal journey has led him to pushing his body to the extremes, from an obsession with building muscle from a young age, to competing at an extraordinary level in powerlifting and voluntarily undergoing extreme weight gain to get as big as possible.

He also outlines his steroid use throughout the journey, and explains how his training has evolved with the different stages of his life, to a point where he now, as a father and business owner, maintains an impressive physique while prioritising longevity and health over extreme performance.

Brian O'Loughlin joins me to discuss the strategies we're exploring to create more space in our lives to do absolutely nothing.

Living busy lives has become a badge of honour, but without space to think you are simply existing from one day to the next. To live a your life by design, and not by default, it is vital to have space to be creative, to plan, to reflect and to think.

We explore the relationship between your time, money and energy, and how each can be leveraged to create that space, and how creating space can also to lead to creating more of each of these elements too.
